awww

veronikka said:

Yes but I cried as soon as she started the scan. You could see it instantly.

You were beautiful

Considering it is such a major thing it is shocking how little test etc they do. After your first Scan you will start with i think monthly checks. They will start to try and listen for the babies heart but that is sometimes hard to find so don't worry if they don't locate it first time around. They do bloods probably on your first exam.

You are pretty much left alone to work it out yourself. I would strongly advise looking into joining some NCT class. The NHS class they give here is not very good and not always available. I had nothing given to me at all.

Before you know it you will start feeling the baby move around.... Are some lovely things about being pregnant, is not all bad.

You have kids?

im glad everything is okay

i didnt have a hospital appt til i was 16 weeks
or a scheduled ultrasound til about 20weeks.
But i insisted on one at 9 weeks- i was still in denial that i was pregnant- even though we had been trying- we were so lucky it all happened so quick 4 us i needed a scan to really believe it.


as 4 having baby at home




im glad i didnt have ben at home- I would have been transferred to hospital afterwards anyway- and that would have been traumatic.


i went through the KYM scheme know your midwife. i got to meet with a dedicated small team of midwives, who looked after me before, during and after the birth. co- care with my GP. And i had a natural birth- so it was a happy medium.


Good luck Val

Thank you Tracy!



I just got an email from my Aunt all worried about things being so laid back here and asking if we have hospitals here.


Some ppl really need to get out and travel beyond their own country.

Women are having their babies later and later - one person I know didn't have her first child until she was 40!

All the kids I know (including myself!) who have been born from women in their late 30s/early 40s are pefectly healthy. You guys and the babes will be just fine

I'll be either 38 or 39, so shaddup!!!

GetAwayFromMe said:

Yes but you have done this before. You know what to expect.

shanti0608 said:

I had so much fun this morning. I had to go to the doctor for my regular appointment, and I raised the concern I had that the baby hadn't been moving around the last two days. She did an ultrasound, and he is all over the place!! I finally paid attention to where his head is, so now I know that the area that seems to have the most action is where he is punching and kicking me lol.

It is so neat to see him moving around!!

Sweet!

them British doctors are used to moms aged 15 or 16, they discuss everything with their parents. Call your mom for an update
